If you’re not an Android fan, calling phone software Lollipop might seem a bit strange to you, but it’s Google tradition. Each new version of Android has been named after a sweet treat, in alphabetical order starting with Cupcake, and then on to Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and KitKat.

Aside from the Lollipop name, Android 5.0 will likely be known for its use of bright colors, high contrast and animations designed to mimic on screen the way physical objects in the real world interact. Google is calling this aesthetic “material design,” and the company says it should enable developers to more easily design consistently good-looking apps across a wide range of screen sizes.

Google’s Nexus 9 tablet, built by HTC, launches on Oct. 15 and features the newest flavor of Android, “Lollipop.”

Android Lollipop will ship on Google’s newest Nexus devices, the Motorola-built Nexus 6 smartphone and HTC-built Nexus 9 tablet, both of which were introduced Wednesday. Google said Lollipop will hit the older Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets on Nov. 3 in an over-the-air update. Lollipop will also hit the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 smartphones, as well as the LTE version of the Nexus 7, later in November.

While Nexus devices are built with the latest processors and high-resolution displays, Lollipop was built to run both on the most powerful and weakest devices in the Android ecosystem. As such, Lollipop will also eventually make its way to Google’s low-priced and lower-powered Android One phones, which are built by companies such as Acer, HTC, Panasonic and Mediatek, and sold in emerging markets such as India, Nepal, Indonesia and the Philippines.
